Strangely enough, I finally got this working as advertised the other day. A client needed to transfer some PC files, so I stuck his drive in my PC, tried to connect - no luck. I went to the Mac, tried "connect to server" - which had failed repeatedly previously - and, wonder of wonders, it worked perfectly the 1st time. The shared folder appeared on my desktop and that was it. The only difference I could detect, was that this time, I had switched the PC on first. I usually do it the other way around. Also, the stuff was coming off the 2nd drive. I'll try it again when I get a chance.
